Lubrication
Since all bearings are sealed and permanently lubricated,
simply leave them alone until they need to be replaced.
Do not lubricate them.
This machine does need lubrication in other places. Do
not over-lubricate. Too much lubrication will attract dirt
and sawdust. Lubricate the following areas as needed to
maintain smooth function of the bandsaw.
